The expirience I remember most with poetry was in sixth grade. In two of my classes we were writing haikus. This wasn't my first expirience with haikus but it was getting close to summer and I was ready to be free. In English we were supposed to write five or so haikus, maybe about summer or maybe about whatever we wanted but anyway, I was ecstastic about summer I wrote about that. I found haiku writing incredibly easy and rewarding because they were short and rhymy. Later that day in science we were supposed to write poems about the sea animal we had picked and because of my sucess with haikus earlier in the day, I decided to continue my pattern. After whipping out an excellent specimen in under five minutes, I continued onto my friends and helped them write their poems about turtles and sea cucumbers and such. It is one of my greatest sucess stories.
I've always enjoyed writing poetry. I find it easy to write my feelings into shorter pieces while still hiding them. Even if I don't include emotion, I always find a way to turn my expiriences, dreams and loves into masterful short poems. They are a lot like essays where as long as I'm passionate about the subject, they turn out fine. I also enjoy reading poems written by my friends and family, especially my sister. I have nothing against poetry, I think its really pretty but like everything else, I hate analyzing it. If I go too deep into the poem, it ruins the magic for me. I like to appreciate it at face value, nothing to change my opinion.
